Developing Eating, Drinking and Swallowing Skills is such a large part of our role here at school @iddsi_org #MySLTDay

Teaching a child to ask and answer questions, comment and interact using this iPad system – the iPad even has a voice output feature! How amazing is that?! #MySLTDay

[RCSLT Northern Ireland @RCSLTNI]

Delivering training to Staff is a key part of our role. Today the training is focusing on how to use play as an opportunity to support communication development. #MySLTDay😀

[RCSLT Northern Ireland @RCSLTNI]

Make every Interaction count! Eye contact, smiling, making noises, pointing and gesturing are all ways we can communicate key messages @TheHanenCentre #MySLTDay

[RCSLT Northern Ireland @RCSLTNI]

Here I am modelling another activity that encourages interaction and involvement. Interaction involves the ability to become aware of others, to look, to listen, to wait, to use our bodies to gesture and maybe even vocalize #MySLTDay

[RCSLT Northern Ireland @RCSLTNI]

The Children and Young People I support are non verbal or have significant communication difficulties. They also have Profound and Severe Learning Difficulties. Communication involves so much more than the spoken word.

[RCSLT Northern Ireland @RCSLTNI]

The activity I am modelling is designed to capture attention using a visually stimulating toy, reduced language and facial expressions #MySLTDay
